Thanks for that I'll check my local Poundland tomorrow.

Bought one at the weekend. Very handy!!

Very poor accuracy on these and will cost you dear in excess luggage charges at the airport. Bought 2 sets a month ago and neither weighed anywhere near each other an were nearly 3 kilo's below what the airport scales were reading. Lucky we had paid for an extra 5 kilo's allowance in advance.

yes be careful of inaccurate scale -even the bath scales was better

Well these should be good for getting an idea if your luggage is nearing the 22-23kg mark...bathroom scales can be a bit misleading at times with larger suitcases/bags

Surely you can (and would) test them!
On hol soon so might try them.

these look terrible quality, thought better of buying today.

spent my pound on strawberry milk bottles instead

Warning!: Don't attach any heavy objects to the hook thingy at the bottom :-D

I used a set of these for weighing my bikes. Good to have an idea of what they weigh.

Seen something similar to this in Home Bargains for 99p if you don't have a Poundland nearby.

Does everything weigh 1lb too?!

I can't comment on this particular model - but buy a good set and you will see the return within 2 Ryan Air flights!!

No Heat - No Cold, common sense prevails on you get you what you pay pay for.

is this any good for weighing babies?

Excellent advice :thumbsup:

Think you'll find it's the airport scales that are out :-D

Same thing was £3.99 at TJ Hughes. At least you haven't wasted too much if it's rubbish. Agree it would be wise to check readings before pushing the luggage limit though!

Not funny. At all

Why are bathroom scales misleading? I get on scales myself and then get on scales with the case, the difference is the case weight, I cant see how that is misleading

I bought one of these for £1.99 from a petrol station just before we went on holiday. Saved us no end of hassle at the airport. We only take one suitcase for the two of us, and then chuck everything else into hand luggage. Last year we where 2kg over and had to go to the back of the queue and shift a load of stuff to the hand luggage. This year we used this to check first and didnt have any problems. Yeah you wouldnt use it for weighing anything where you needed to be accurate, but it was good enough for us (scale said just under 20kg, airport weighed it as 19.5kg).

You need to keep the case perpendicular (i.e. above your head) on scale and not to one side to get accurate reading.
